Testimonials

I love this store…what delightful items for sale in addition to all the great books. I especially enjoyed my conversation with Paul and Cynthia on my first trip in a few weeks ago. I think I have a new community to explore with all the wonderful events and people that frequent this enchanting place. It’s so easy to find wonderful gifts for myself and others.

If you are ever vacationing in Carmel or you are close to Carmel, you need to visit this very cool bookstore with the amazing Secret Garden.

Every time I come to Carmel, I make sure to visit your store because I love the books you have recommended in the past. I can’t find this quality of selection in other stores.
